The typical tell-tale signs of spring may be late this year, but the area around Main and Industrial is set for a fresh bloom of local art on April 7th and 8th. Sixteen Vancouver-based artists are gathering under the Arts Factory roof for the society’s first ever Spring Salon hightlighting the city’s diverse arts scene. Mingle with the creators while imbibing, snacking and enjoying music at the Friday evening reception, or partake in a laid-back Saturday meet-and-greet. Art will be available for sale at both events.
